SAVE THE DATE!! This year’s marathon party will be at Chez Jerie on Friday evening, February 13th. More details to follow as the date approaches (less than two weeks away). In order to receive an invite, it helps to be on the Ship’s email list (alsshipoffools@googlegroup.com) because that’s where I pull the invite list from. If you subscribe to this blog but are NOT on the email list, you won’t receive an invitation UNLESS you email me and let me know to add you.
CALL YOUR SHOT!! If you’re running the Austin Marathon or Half Marathon, and are not a pace group leader, you can call your shot by predicting your race time in advance. The person who finishes closest to their called shot (over or under) will win a fabulous gift card from Ready to Run ($262 for the marathon, $131 for the half marathon). To win you MUST be on the Ship’s email list (alsshipoffools@googlegroup.com) and NOT have won any other Ship prize. Coach has final discretion on that.
